Since 2013, the Uganda Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (UFAAS), in partnership with the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS); the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF); and other partners, have been organizing annual National Agricultural Extension events. The purpose of these events has always been to stimulate visibility, innovation, and learning in agricultural extension and advisory services provision. This has been achieved through creating a platform for knowledge sharing, exchange and networking among AEAS and agricultural value chain actors.

It is against that background, that a National Agricultural Extension Week in Uganda (UGNAEW 2024) has been organized under the theme: “Making extension count for robust, resilient and competitive agri-food systems”. The UGNAEW2024 will take place from 28^th October – 01^st November 2024, at Silver Springs Hotel, Bugolobi, Kampala. This will be preceded by regional level workshops.
